THE SPEAK WITH PIERRE PODCAST

How can you take control of your feelings, your attitude and your state of being? This episode is part two of a conversation I had with Adela Pastor, yoga studio founder and spiritual mentor.

In this episode, we talk about how to utilize mindfulness and how to take control of our internal reality. 

I much enjoyed my conversation with Adela and I think she has an awesome message to give to the world!

The conversation gets even deeper. This is part two of episode From LA to The Bay featuring musical artist LBZ (LaiddbackZach). In this episode, Zach and I dive into our experience with racial profiling, cultural friction, interracial children and the mental load of being black in America. 

After listening to this episode, I appreciate my conversation with Zach even more. He really opens up about his experience growing up in Compton LA and we both express some personal truths that we don't often speak about.

I invite you to have a listen and as always, please let me know about your own experience and what you think about the topics we discuss in this episode. As this is a very sensitive and personal topic for Zach and I, constructive opinions only! 

That being said, join the conversation!

What social and psychological factors make us vulnerable to conspiratorial narratives?

In this episode, I team up with Derek DeWitt of Conspiracy Clearinghouse in hopes to answer these questions.

We dive into the hidden psychological nature of human beings in an attempt to explain how some of us become victims of misinformation or believers of the almost unbelievable.

My goal is to understand what can lead people to down the rabbit hole of fiction, believing in things that have been thoroughly disproven or even narratives that are completely unhinged from reality.

This is part one of a two part episode, be sure to check out the second part!

I really wanted to speak about the friction that can be generated when we decide to go against the grain and cross cultural boundaries.

In this Episode, my good friend and musical artist, LaiddbackZach, speaks about the huge jump he made when moving from Compton L.A to The Bay Area California.

 Zach opens up about some of the difficulties and challenges he faced relating to where he comes from and the personal choices he has made in his life.

This episode is part one of a two part episode and is a great look into cultural divides as well as the Black experience.

Adela Pastor helps people with spiritual transformation and she is the creator of Soy Satya Yoga Studio, located in Madrid, Spain . In this episode, she tells me about how she helps people let go of attachment, become more spiritually aware and manifest the experience they desire. 

I much enjoyed my conversations with Adela as she is able to break down topics that can sometimes be complicated and mystical into a comprehensible manner. She not only makes such topics easy to understand but she also provides practical knowledge which can be applied to daily life. 

This is part one of a two part episode so make sure you tune into part two!

In this episode, I speak with my colleague and dear friend Matthew about what mindfulness really means and how to practice it. Mindfulness has gained popularity in modern pop and work culture but there is a lot of allusion around its true essence as well as limited views on how to practice it.

The point of this episode was to try and clarify what we feel is a more accurate understanding of mindfulness and also acknowledge the diverse ways it can be practiced in daily life. 

As always, the thoughts and opinions expressed in this episode are personal so I would love to hear what mindfulness means to you and how you practice it!

 A lot of people want to be taught "real" English. Meaning the English Native speakers use when speaking to other people with similar linguistic backgrounds. But this can be hard to do and sometimes not optimal in regards to improving non native speakers' general English communication skills.

In this episode, my colleague and good friend Dane, converse about the difficulties of teaching "real" English, what it means to be a native speaker and the possible negative side effects caused by the desire of wanting to speak just like a native. 

Dane is a long time English teacher and podcast host. His podcast is great for those who are looking for useful English learning  audio content and insightful tips for improving their speaking fluency. Check him out on Spotify, Tiktok and Instagram as English with Dane!
